About these thanksgiving for 5th graders worksheets
These Thanksgiving worksheets for 5th graders practice the top skills of elementary math and literacy with a holiday theme. Children solve multi-step problems with 2-digit divisors about parade bleachers and a food bank, add, subtract, multiply and divide money on a grocery trip, scale recipes by multiplying fractions and mixed numbers, find the volume of pie boxes and coolers, plot ordered pairs to draw a mystery turkey and use fraction operations on a line plot of pie recipes.
In reading there are two original nonfiction texts: harvest celebrations around the world (Canada, Korea, the Mid-Autumn Festival and Japan) and the science of cooking a turkey safely. Children write an argument about the length of Thanksgiving break and a personal narrative about someone they want to thank, and practice correlative conjunctions. Every page is black and white, prints on US Letter or A4, and pages with one right answer have an answer key at the end of the PDF. See also Thanksgiving Math Worksheets for every grade.

How to use them
- Start the week with the coordinate mystery picture; it is a calm, self-checking page.
- Pair the safe turkey text with the volume page for a cross-curricular kitchen science day.
- On the grocery money page, have children line up the decimal points in a column before they add or subtract.
- Use the argument page for a quick class debate first, so every child has reasons ready to write.
Teaching tips
- Recipe scaling: remind children that multiplying by a fraction less than 1 makes a smaller amount, and by more than 1 a bigger one.
- For volume, ask children to say the formula aloud with units ("10 inches by 10 inches by 4 inches") before they multiply.
- On the coordinate picture, go across first, then up, and use a ruler for each line.
- The harvest text is respectful and factual; invite children to share celebrations from their own families.
